The log burner was a real bonus. When we arrived there was a cake and some milk left by the owner. Information on walks and places to go. Overall a lovely stay. Would stay at cloudberry cottage again.
Phillip
Very clean with a high quality interior and nice garden. Owners are friendly and polite and communicate quickly if required. Birchover is a quiet village but has two good pubs. Not far from larger towns for amenities and there are many local attractions to visit.
